Episode 168: Three Causes

Together with Yuna and Elitra, I leave myself to the dynamic airflow to push through the gate. This is the third time I've been heading to The Sanctuary of the Sky, so I've also gotten used to feeling like this water slider. But...

"... that's strange"

"Oh."

I hammered Elitra's whining. [M] Last time or before, it didn't take thirty seconds to get through this gate to the 'Sanctuary of the Skies'. But this time after three minutes, I still can't see the exit. I thought it was just because of my mind until about a minute passed, but less than three minutes is just unusual.

I have a bad feeling. What if Gabri's trap is already activated...!?

"Master Ute, give me that!

Yuna speaks up. Looking forward, I saw multiple giant flying objects headed this way. Is that... a monster!?

The status of the leading monster is displayed. Other monsters have roughly the same number, clearly targeting us. There will be at least thirty bodies.

Until now, no monsters or other objects have appeared in the gate. That means I'm still sure it's considered Gabriel's work.

"He's a pigsty...... Yuna, Elitra! We intercept!!"

"" Ha!! "

I don't know what you're after, but if you're going to hold back, you're going to have to shove it off. It would be futile if they were after our depletion. None of the monsters in question extend to the dragons that fought in The Evil Dragon Cave.

To Yuna and Elitra, four or five bodies at a time, and all the rest will come towards me. Apparently both monsters instinctively perceived which were the most dangerous. Then I will live up to my expectations.

"Spell [Chaos Whirlwind (Chaos Tornado)]!!"

I generate a giant tornado and tear apart the enemies in front of me with a blade of wind. But not all monsters will be defeated, and a few more will bravely challenge me.

With this number, we no longer have to rely on spells. I wave my fist and return the monster I attacked. Took out all the rest of the monsters in no time. There are no more signs of monsters up front.

"... that's odd"

I was obsessed with unpopular discomfort. [M] I'm too unresponsive. If you really want to drain us, you're going to have to send more powerful monsters and attack them in numbers. Do you have something to aim for...?

"Yuna, Elitra! What's your situation?"

That's when I realized. Soon the signs of the two of us are gone. I looked around, but I still don't see him.

"Dear Yout, are you safe?!?"

"... oh"

In reply to Yuna's remarks, I pound my tongue. Is that what you mean?

The real aim was not to drain us, but to draw attention to both monsters and to break us apart into the gap. I don't know how, but I can't help exploring it at this time. Exactly what he thinks.

"Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A deaf voice echoes through the gate from nowhere. Needless to say, Gabriel's voice.

'I've been waiting for Temei to come. Let's have full fun...!!'

Shortly afterwards, a black lightning strikes from the front, dyeing the darkness through the gate. Soon my vision dimmed.

"Is this...!?"

The next time I opened my eyes, I was standing in a place I'd never even seen.

I'll take a slow look around. It's as dark as the deep sea, with huge debris floating all over it. I'm standing on one of those rubbles. [M] There is no ground under it, and there is no sky above it. It was like space in the universe. One thing that's clear is that this is not the 'sanctuary of the sky'.

"Dear Yout!

And on the same rubble, about ten meters away, there was a familiar figure of a woman.

"It's me, it's Henri! Ah, it is the ultimate joy for you to come this far for me!

With tears in his eyes, he says.

"But how can I apologize for the inconvenience caused to Youto...!! Should I still harm myself?!?"

Anger builds up. Not much, my fist trembles.

"Stop that unpleasant trilogy play now...... Gabri!!"

Henri's face was distorted by an evil laugh.

"Keh, that's not funny. Well, for the second time, you'll find out at a glance."

Soon [the transformation] was solved and Gabri showed up.

"… have you finally arrived?"

Since the signs were clearly heterogeneous from my previous identities, I was convinced that this Gabriel was real.

"Exactly. It's a pleasure to meet you, my lord."

I bow my head respectfully, Gabri. The fact that the guy who said he was a coward showed up before me like this makes me feel so confident that he's going to bury me in this struggle.

"As you already know, this is not a 'sanctuary in the sky'. It's the space I created with my [spatial creation] spell. It's called" Gabriel World "! Don't you think it's the right field to put Keri on our cause?!?"

Gabriel spreads his hands wide open on the big bangs. I can no longer even leak laughter.

But when it comes to spells that can expand so much space, it's definitely a class of fifth stars or better. So MP consumption shouldn't be unusual either, but as far as Gabriel's overflowing signs are concerned, MP still has plenty of room.

Should we see that the power of Raphae was not merely added, but that the power that far exceeded it was brought to Gabri? You should no longer consider Gabri's current MP to be endless.

"Temei came here because I changed the gate connection from 'Sanctuary of Sky' to 'Gabriel World'. But please, this space, unlike the 'Sanctuary of the Sky', does not damage the devil's flesh. You thank my kind escort!

"Smart imitation..."

Sure, there's no headache or nausea like I've tasted in The Sanctuary of the Sky, but it can't be pleasing either. It is determined that there is some ruse that Gabri chose this space for the battlefield until he abandoned the 'Sanctuary of the Skies' advantage.

"Yeah, well, if Henri didn't kill you, don't worry."

"... Is Henri in The Sanctuary of Sky?

"Come on. Assuming that's the case, there's no other way out of this space than to kill me."

"Right. Then I hope it's easy."

No sign of Henri nearby. I thought you were up to something with Henri because of this guy, but when you succeeded in attracting us, you decided it wasn't worth using, or...

No sign of Henri, but instead I feel multiple faint signs somewhere not so far away. You should be on guard now. What are you going to do...

"Where are Yuna and Elitra?

"Nghuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu They'll be somewhere in this' Gabriel World '. Kiel and Micah should be dealing with him by now."

"... what...!?"

On the rubble far from where the reigning king (Ut) was, two people, Kiel and Elitra, were confronted.

"... since you fought in the Seven Star's Mitsukishi, Elitra"

"That's right. That's when the castle collapsed and the battle was taken care of."

Kiel looks around lightly and sighs.

"I don't mean to rematch you in this way, but it doesn't have a good aftertaste to fight the King without settling with you. Let me win this fight."

"Ho ho ho. So I'm the front seat"

"You're not. Whatever the struggle, it is my creed that comes with my life at stake. I've never seen a battlefield enemy as a front seat."

"I see. But it's odd..."

Elitra leans her neck deliberately.

"What?

"If your people believe you're going to bury Master Ute, they shouldn't have said anything earlier. I mean, you don't think Yout is going to defeat... do you?

"... I don't know"

As he raised his mouth corner small, Kiel replied.

Meanwhile, on another rubble, Yuna and Micah - two sisters were confronted.

"It's good to see you again, sister. Now it's time to kill you...!!"

Micah turns her anger and hate-filled eyes to her sister, no different from before.

"Micah, I'm not here to fight you!! I'm here to help Henri -"

"Oh, you mean you don't care about me? I won't allow that...!!"

"Mica...!!"

The struggle is inevitable. Understanding so intuitively, Yuna had to pull out her sword.

King and Gabriel, Elitra and Kiel, Yuna and Mica. The struggle, led by each cause, has now begun.
